Do you plan on upgrading the heads? If not i'd stay with your current cam. It will probably make better overall usable power

I plan on doing heads in the future but for now just port and polish them. Also might send my stall back to yank to get it loosened 3600 probably. It's currently 3000

You can get away with the 3k stall with the v3 but a little looser would be better. Its a very good cam and its aggressive intake lobe keeps a broad power band. Over your current cam it will most likely be worth about 15rwhp maybe a little more. Its hard to swap from one cam to another and pick up tons of power but it all adds up.

I only remember him from when I was running an LT1 years ago. Back then he was the go to guy for getting your heads ported for a good price. Other than that, I havent heard about him in years. Doesnt mean anything, I just like to go with stuff I know more about. I'm sure some others on here have used his stuff in recent times.
